Short forms: BAT: Base Attack Time IAS: Increased Attack Speed

1) Only use manual casting of arrow effects (hence, the "orb.")  2) You'll note that after manual casting the attack, the projectile leaves the hero rather fast and he then stands around looking stupid (Harby jiggles sometimes, Viper flaps his wings, etc.)  3) The above is known as backswing; if you don't cancel it, a running hero stands a good chance at getting away. If you DO cancel the leftover animation, you can chase...

Despite many community websites including tutorials outlining ward placing, players still can not grasp the basics as these guides are often not updated version to version, with some simply not including the key areas. With these factors in mind, Alex “HEARTu.WE5T” Kim, helped compile an extensive list of areas in the game where wards achieve most effectiveness.

With their incredible usefulness as watchdogs for team movement in addition to keeping an eye on neutral creep spawns, wards can single handedly make or break a match. Although their incredible importance in competitive matches, many players that are just beginning their play in the competitive arena are unable to determine what area is most effective for wards. Despite many community websites including tutorials outlining ward placing, players...

Dota Bugs: A short description how to kill roshan with Lnanaya + roB and meld.

This hero is very powerful and if you know the right strategy to play, most likely you will always be able to get 1 step ahead of your enemies, or when needed you will be able to disappear fast. As you know this is an Intelligence HERO but, i mean a huge BUT, this hero's strength resides in his STRENGTH and hp. Of course you will need to buy intelligence items or combinations but you always should get some strength items or combine with intelligence...

1. When Runes Spawn  Runes spawn every 2 minutes (starting from minute # 2), replacing those that have already been taken. This means that a rune spawns every even minute, starting from minute number 2. If a rune has not been taken, a new rune won't spawn. According to my observations, the type of rune that spawns is COMPLETELY random and the area at which a rune spawns is also COMPLETELY random. You cannot predict whether it...

There are many ways to use Warlock, but I would no longer touch the most common builds, e.g. "support-pusher" which gets Refresher Orb asap, or other Int-oriented items. Rather, I would discuss the various early game strategies for him, and their late-game equivalents. 1. Shadow Word and Upheaval Shadow Word is the "no-brainer" spell of Warlock. A heal and nuke rolled into one. This is very helpful in controlling a lane....

1. Astral Imprisonment In my opinion, all OD users should max this skill first. I'm very surprised to see some players not getting this until mid-game. These players max Arcane Orb and Essence Aura first. I'm very sure this is a wrong way to use OD. First of all, Arcane Orb is a percentage skill which means it is more effective later in the game. At low hero levels, it's pathetic. Now, let's focus on Astral Imprisonment. What kind...

Vol'jin has always been an underrated hero. Although it's already clear to many how strong his skills can get, very few still use him because of the relatively high skill level needed to effectively use this hero. 1. Maledict This is Vol'jin's signature and most useful spell when it comes to team battles. We all know how short its casting range is, and it's small AoE, making it a very hard spell to aim. Usually, opponents would be able to...
